It’s been a busy year. My new task earlier this year was to go out and find a job... but easier said
than done apparently.After much searching and no
finding, I decided to go back to school.So along with my job search, I’ve now been taking classes.And, I
signed up for a two-person mixed-media show at a local gallery and got involved in a
sizeable art project with some local Milford artists for Michigan’s own Art
Prize.(If you are in Grand Rapids
during Art Prize, check it out in the Harris Building. It’s called “Connected: Art
From a Spiritual Perspective”.)

But I am done with all that for the moment and taking a
little break. I will be back to school full time in September, but for a week
or two anyway, I am going to do some daily painting… doggonit. I have missed all the daily painting and
blogging and comments and the whole DPW community.

The piece above was done a few months ago when I had a spare
moment. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten everything I learned about oil painting!

About Me

I received a BA in illustration at Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, then went on to work as an illustrator, graphic artist and art director.
After 20+ years in the commercial art field (and a brief relapse into full-time work), I decided to quit my job to go back to the more fulfilling field of fine art. I paint with a weekly figure painting group and try to paint on a daily basis.
I live in Southeast Michigan with my husband and three cats.
